4 2 February 2017 Conditions of business

Conditions mostly concerning buyers

1 The buyerThe highest bidder shall be the buyer at the ‘hammer price’ andany dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion.Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is inforce a written acknowledgement by Grosvenor that he acts asagent on behalf of a named principal.

2 Minimum incrementThe bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute discretion of the auctioneer.

3 The premiumThe buyer shall pay to Grosvenor a premium of 22.8% on the‘hammer price’ inclusive of a sum in lieu of Value Added Tax atthe standard rate and agrees that Grosvenor, when acting as agentfor the seller, may also receive commission from the seller in accordance with Condition 15.

4 Value Added Tax (VAT)Lots on which Value Added Tax at 20% is payable by the buyeron the ‘hammer price’ are indicated in the catalogue with the sign ‘†’ Lots with an ‘x’ before the lot number have 5% Importation VAT charged on the hammer price because theyhave been imported into the UK from outside the EU.

10 Buyer’s responsibility for Lots purchasedThe buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots pur chasedfrom the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days afterthe day of the auction, whichever is the sooner, and neitherGrosvenor nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be respon -sible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control.

11 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collectIf any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance withConditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either ofthose Conditions, Grosvenor as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights itmay have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the followingrights and remedies: (a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract. (b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots (c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to Grosvenor anyresulting deficiency in the ‘total amount due’ after deduction ofany part payment and addition of re-sale costs and any surplusshall belong to the seller.

(e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month onthe ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for morethan 5 working days after the day of the auction. (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same buyer at the saleor any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘totalamount due’. (g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future. (h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafterbecoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in Grosvenor’s possession for anypurpose.

12 Liability of Grosvenor and sellers(a) Each lot is sold as:(i) Genuine unless otherwise described in the sale catalogue. (ii) Correctly described (see also clause 12 (f)). The date of any certificate forming part of the description of any lot will be included in the description. (b) A purchaser shall be at liberty to reject any lot if he:(i) within 7 days gives the auctioneer written notice of intentionto question the genuineness of or, as the case may be, the accuracyof the description of the lot and/or requests the submission of thelot to a recognised expert or expert committee in accordance withthe Grosvenor expertising policy separately stated.(ii) proves that the lot is not genuine or was incorrectly described;and(iii) returns to the auctioneer within 30 days of the date of the sale,

Imported lots

At that point the buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to pay the Import VAT due.

Pre-sale estimates

The pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective purchasers. Any bid between the listed figures would, in our opinion, offer a fair chance of success. However, all lots, dependingon the degree of competition, can realise prices either above orbelow the listed estimates.
